Talking with the Living Dead

I meet and deal with people who do not have an original thought in their heads. Everyday I’m confronted with the same words and phrases that come out of their mouths. It takes everything within me to not outwardly cringe.

Am I actually talking to living people?

It's like talking to some artificially constructed simulacrum of a person. Am I walking amongst beings that are not fully formed?

Abominations.

I might as well be talking to a doll, it’s just that the eyes aren’t quite as dead as a doll’s.

I am surrounded by the living dead,

And there are very few exits.

Brooding and plotting a bit tonight. Vaccuuming always gets me in this kind of mood.

There is the joy that the novelty of the new provides, a dopamine rush once the package arrives and he gets his grasping hands on the newly procured item. The ghost is excited. He opens it and admires the new thing, starts to use it. What he finds is that the new thing is what he expected it to be, maybe even more, or so the ghost thinks. The senses are keenly focused on the new thing and its use. The ghost smiles. The hunger has been satiated. It thinks that it is becoming more defined. The ghost thinks that it has become more than the spectral thing it was before obtaining the object of its desire. It feels complete. Now its life can be more fulfilling like the people who have reviewed the thing he wanted. Like the ads showing people using the shiny, always new things, forever smiling and using the th...
